Río Sumpul Massacre Memorial Trails and Voices
This book chronicles the collaborative design and realization of the Río Sumpul Massacre Memorial in Las Aradas, El Salvador. On May 14, 1980, three hundred people were brutally murdered by paramilitary units on the Río Sumpul, a river on the country’s border with Honduras. Trails and Voices is a memorial and a homage to the resilience of those who were impacted by the massacre, a momentous event in the early years of the civil war. The book allows us to hear the voices of survivors, members of the local community, people involved, architects, artists, and scholars. Following multiple trails, it explores how Asociación Sumpul worked as part of an international team to make the memorial a reality—within the framework established by the international initiative Surviving Memory in Postwar El Salvador.
